    Verdict

    BAILEYS MIRAGE has had two runs for Chris Dwyer since arriving from France, scoring over this track and trip in the second of them. He's up 4lb but looks capable of better and should complete a double. First Experience hasn't won since the summer of 2014 but is back on the same mark for the first time subsequently. Binky Blue has been in excellent form here and at Wolverhampton and is only 3lb higher than her last victory while the lightly-raced Oat Couture made a fair reappearance at Kempton and is no forlorn hope here. Isntshesomething has produced the occasional good run but has mainly been disappointing.
